Good News for The Grizzly Bears

Yeah, that's them.

Grizzly Bear is one of those bands that is a rare beauty.  Usually when I get a rad CD from a band that I don’t know I share the news with other people.  But for some reason, when Yellow House came out a few years ago by Grizzly Bear, I kept quiet.  I loaded it on my laptop and work computer and jammed to it privately, listening to th emusic through my earphones.  It was good–I mean, really good.

Only a few days ago the band released their new album Veckatimest. The band explained that “it’s kinda clearer, clearer equals more accessible I feel like clearer equals more accessible in general as a rule.”  ( http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2009/05/tlobf-interview-grizzly-bear/)  Which, I think is true because it is a little more pop rocky than before.  Don’t worry, it is rad.

In it’s first week it has already zoomed to the spot of Number 8 on the Top 200 list.  So listen to me, trust me, the shit is good.  Go buy it instead of stealing it on the internet. 

This is the music video for the song “Two Weeks” which is the second track from the new CD Veckatimest. Listen, it is well worth it, I promise.
